28. Approve Annual Piggyback Contract for Residential Recycling Carts

Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

Lee County is planning to approve an annual piggyback contract for residential recycling carts. This contract will allow the county to purchase 64-gallon plastic recycling carts from Toter, using pricing from a Sourcewell Contract. The county provides these carts to about 203,000 homes for recycling. Purchases will be made as needed, with a total spending limit of $2,800,000 through April 4, 2029. This planned approval is early in the process. The project involves the ongoing purchase and distribution of recycling carts, including replacements for lost or damaged units. This could lead to work in site preparation for cart storage or distribution, and potentially related administrative or logistics services. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers who can offer recycling cart manufacturing, distribution, or related waste management services should consider reaching out now. Early engagement could provide an advantage before final contract details and delivery schedules are set.
